Ariel Rescue (South Orange County, California) saves all breeds of dogs by rescuing them from municipal “kill” shelters and rehabilitating them for adoption.
Dogs are “bought out” from the shelter (yes – there is a fee sometimes over $100 even when it is rescue!) taken immediately to a veterinarian, groomed, and given tender loving care. Most are frightened and emotionally traumatized but are highly resilient and trainable once in a safe environment.
Ariel Rescue works with municipal shelters to help promote adoptions. The rescue also participates in community programs providing veterinary services to animals in impoverished areas.
